The Things You Kill (2025) 96% A EDIT “What daringly flips the tired old revenge script on its genre head, internalizes unspeakable evil that can manifest in times of tragedy. ” – Rogers TV Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Maya & Samar (2025) B- EDIT “The leads’ chemistry goes a long way in a plot that skims the surface of deeper concerns before neatly concluding, rarely dwelling on conflicts for more than an episodic beat. ” – Rogers TV Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% B+ EDIT “A must-see space odyssey theatrically blasts off on IMAX screens as the first great blockbuster of 2026. ” – Rogers TV Mar 20, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 72% B+ EDIT “Just remember to like, subscribe, and leave a positive review if you enjoyed the frighteningly poignant pastiche that weaponizes safe spaces. ” – Rogers TV Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 93% B- EDIT “Earnestly stated, Jesse Andrews’ anthropomorphized screenplay gets undercut when zany antics override the clever conceit. ” – Rogers TV Mar 7, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% C+ EDIT “Tonally disjointed pacing, aesthetically nauseating handheld camerawork, and a larger-than-life lead performance from Jessie Buckley portraying multiple characters present some obnoxious obstacles. ” – Rogers TV Mar 7, 2026 Full Review Sweetness (2025) 90% B EDIT “Morally complicated in its approach to mental health issues, not to mention drug addiction, the film remains consistently non-judgmental, failing to vilify one person over the other for the audience’s sake. ” – Rogers TV Mar 7, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% C- EDIT “Unfortunately, Scream 7 suggests that these fan favourite horror flicks are past their prime. ” – Rogers TV Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Dreams (2025) 52% C EDIT “Dreams alienates without enlightenment. ” – Rogers TV Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 91% B- EDIT “Begrudgingly, it works like a crude fart noise, making one laugh involuntarily. ” – Rogers TV Feb 20, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 43% C EDIT “How to Make a Killing is a capitalist offence on working-class moviegoers. ” – Rogers TV Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% B+ EDIT “Manufactured truth and authenticity come naturally to documentary filmmaker Layton, grounding cinematic elements in relatability for character investment.” – Rogers TV Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 82% C EDIT “Returning to the director’s chair ten years after the phantasmagorically bonkers A Cure for Wellness, Gore Verbinski states the obvious with Love and Monsters screenwriter Matthew Robinson’s redundant warning about simulated stimulation.” – Rogers TV Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% C EDIT “Quotation-marked title aside, Oscar-winning filmmaker Emerald Fennell appears relatively uninterested in the source material, stitching together loose bits and bobs while cutting from whole cloth to fit her pastiche-laced gown of gloom.” – Rogers TV Feb 13, 2026 Full Review My Father's Shadow (2025) 97% A- EDIT “The beach sequence is nothing short of being tear-jerkingly cathartic. ” – Rogers TV Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 63% C EDIT “Frighteningly familiar to Final Destination, Flatliners, and It Follows in terms of morally contemplative plot mechanics, The Nun director Corin Hardy reaps Owen Egerton’s slight script without the grim reward. ” – Rogers TV Feb 5, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 66% B- EDIT “Charli can hold her own opposite seasoned actors and comedic talent, taking back control of the brand she unleashed. ” – Rogers TV Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% C EDIT “They should have stuck with the film’s original title, Tax Shelter.” – Rogers TV Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% B+ EDIT “Delightfully deranged Three Stooges-esque exchanges between the two committed leads, earning their Bruce Campbell credentials, satiate Raimi’s elastic tone while grounding candid moments, building morale. ” – Rogers TV Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 25% D EDIT “Calling Mercy the dumbed-down version of Minority Report is superficial; as a high-concept procedural, it ceases to function when engaging with ethical considerations and merely capitalizes on timely concerns for entertainment purposes.” – Rogers TV Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Honey Bunch (2025) 92% B+ EDIT “Honey Bunch is a sickly-sweet treat for genre fans. ” – Rogers TV Jan 23, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% B+ EDIT “Heavy metal horror with Ralph Fiennes reprising his compassionate role of Dr. Ian Kelson, puts on a showstopping spectacle that’ll make you cheer for an encore. ” – Rogers TV Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Mother and the Bear (2024) 90% B- EDIT “An eccentrically wistful winter tale takes some time to warm up, melting traditional climate and cultural shock to find its own unique bearings. ” – Rogers TV Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% B EDIT “Needless to say, Jane Goodall’s legacy lives on.” – Rogers TV Jan 9, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% A EDIT “The sharply satirical blade pops the Douglas Sirk bubble of melodramatic domesticity, propulsively exposing blended-family matters that go beyond economic instability. ” – Rogers TV Dec 19, 2025 Full Review
